Eye and face tracking are essential pieces of the technology stack needed for AR and VR devices to reach their full potential.
Meta has also invested $10 billion in its Reality Labs division and renamed itself Meta Platforms, Inc. The company is expected to provide updates on its investment in AR/VR and metaverse technologies at its annual Connect conference.
